THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
been made in Copenhagen have been so
successsful that a company has been formed
to introduce the invention all through the
world. Patents have been applied for in
all the principal countries. The experi-
ments so far with this telephone-phono-
graph go to show that song is heard more
distinctly by this method than simple
words. Why this should be no one seems
to know. The question arose whether
time would have any effect on the clear-
ness of the message. Apprehension was
felt that if the message was held for sev-
eral days the words would be inaudible.
To test this the steel ribbon was removed
from the machine and laid away for a
time. When placed in position it gave the
message very plainly.
The only drawback to the present re-
ceiving instrument is its size. It is some-
what larger than the ordinary table phono-
graphs. But there is reason to suppose
that this can be remedied as soon as the
instruments are placed on the market. The
new phonograph is a separate instrument,
and if no use for it exists for some time it
may be disconnected and placed to one
side. It is arranged so that when some-
one calls up, should no one respond, the
talker is at once made aware that at the
other end there is only the phonograph
connection. He will, therefore, frame his
message accordingly. So far as the cen-
tral station is concerned, no extra work is
placed on the operators there. Quite to
the contrary, when a phonographic con-
nection is present the operators will not be
called upon as frequently as before.
The Kurtz man Boom.
Among the firms who are meeting with
no limited share of trade support in these
epoch-making days, is C. Kurtzman & Co.,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The products of this
old-established institution are steadily
growing in the estimation of all dealers
who have given them a fair test. They
are found to be reliable in manufacture,
tasteful in design and built to satisfy the
exacting requirements of the trade and
the purchasing public. The Kurtzman
policy is to give value at all times, and
the activity prevalent at the Kurtzman
factory is the best proof that this policy
is a winning one. Every indication points
this year to the largest trade in the history
of the Kurtzman establishment.
Barckhoff to Remove.
The Barckhoff Organ Co., of Latrobe,
Pa., have decided to remove their plant to
Middleport, Pa. They will be in working
order in their new location about the first
week of March. Of course, substantial
inducements were made to induce the
Barckhoff concern to remove.
